Abstract

The patients after the stroke besides impaired motor functions,often have cognitive and emotional disorders which
can endanger the successful carrying out of the rehabilitation treatment. The objective of this study was to estimate the
functional capability and to determine the cognitive and emotional disorders of the patients after the stroke. The research has
ecompassed 40 patients after the stroke of specified age and gender structure, treated in the Clinic for Rehabilitation, of the
Clinical Center in Novi Sad. The data have benn gathered from the anamnesis, clinical and neurological check, test of the
activity in everyday life, the findings of the psychologist on the emotinal status, as well as from the available medical
documentation about the patient. The average values of the Barthel's index are increased for 14.86% after the rehabilitation
treatment. The results show a strong presence of the emotional disorders with 57.5% of the patients. The increased values of Barthel's index and Mini Mental test at the end of the treatment show the undoubtfull importance of the rehabilitation
treatment in the recovery of the patients. The emotional disorders cause the worse recovery of the patients.
